Mohammed Ashraf Abdul Salam Khan, a Standard II student of Wadala Municipal School, was on his way to school at around 1 pm, when he was run over by a dumper speeding towards Wadala west. The driver of the dumper fled the vehicle after the mishap.

However, irate local residents spontaneously staged a rasta roko, stoned vehicles parked in the area and torched a few tyres, police sources informed. Traffic was held up for almost an hour due to the rasta roko.

Residents of the area claimed there were no traffic cops at the Ganesh junction during rush hour in the morning and said they would continue their rasta roko agitation till speedbreakerswere constructed on the road by the BMC. Bowing to the demands of the agitators, municipal officials ordered that two speedbreaker be immediately built on the Salt Tan road. Work on it was over in a couple of hours.

While the rasta roko started at 1 pm, the ward officer from F-north, S K Karvande, rushed at the spot only after an hour. ``I rushed the moment I was intimated,'' he said.

He maintained that the road, only about a year old, had two speedbreakers. There was a third speedbreaker too, which was demolished two months ago because traffic police did not give their approval for it. ``The municipality is responsible for building the speedbreakers. But approval for them has to come from the traffic police department,'' the ward officer maintained.
